Just chipping in to this thread, perhaps responding to the wrong post ... I don't use rsync often, but when I use it I try to make it a practise to keep an extra copy of my original file in a safe place just in case the rsync process destroys the copy it is working from. See http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/RsyncingALargeFileDiscussion#Partial_and_Compare_Dest_The_Pro. (Not sure that link will work -- if not, try http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/RsyncingALargeFileDiscussion and, on that page, click on "Partial and Compare Dest The Problem" under the Contents heading.
